1950s Suzy Perette Black Velvet Fox Trim Cocktail Dress MRS Couture

Bombshell, curve-skimming cocktail dress by Suzy Perette! The dress is knee length, with a cinched waist and 3/4 length sleeves. The sheath silhouette of the dress is made possible by precise princess seams included in the front of the dress. The deep squared off bateau boat neck and the somewhat low scoop back bring a bit of sensuality to the dress. The dress is composed primarily of soft, black velvet, and features a supple and glossy black fox fur trim on the skirt. Back to hip metal zipper on back for closure.

The Suzy Perette label was active from the 1940s into the 1970s, and created dresses for the American market based off of famous and sought-after Parisian designs.
